One night, I pissed into an empty wine bottle so I could continue watching Monty Python, and suddenly thought 'I've never tasted my own piss,' so I drank a little. It looked just like Orvieto Classico and tasted of nearly nothing

A lot of the so-called systems composers have this thing that the system is always right. You don't fiddle with it at all. Well, I don't think that.
